Little sale? Inbetween? Apartment complex courtyard? Full garage? School? Business? Or … ? It’ll be a day of sales of all sizes, all locations, as always … this is the 14th year for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day and we’re excited! As soon as registration closes, we get to work on the map and list so they’ll be available a week in advance for all those buyers to plan! So don’t procrastinate … sign up YOUR sale now … thank you!

Quick update – if you’re planning on a sale for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2018, you have five more days: Thursday night (April 26th) is the deadline to register. We’re close to 200 sales already, but we know from coordinating WSCGSD for 11 years now that many wait to decide until the last few days of signups – so if you’re ready to commit, go here! The big sale day – sales of all sizes, in neighborhoods all over the peninsula – is Saturday, May 12th, just three weeks away.

Now just under four weeks until Saturday, May 12th – this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – and 120 sales are signed up! Every single year, the variety is amazing, in sale size, sale items, sale locations, and this year is looking great too. We are midway through the registration period and the rest of the time will roar by, so if you’re planning a sale but haven’t signed up yet – go here to get it done!

One week now since we started registering sales for Saturday, May 12th, this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, and 85 sales are on the list – all sizes, all over the peninsula, all sorts of items. It’s the biggest community garage-sale day in the city so far as we can tell, and this will be its 14th year, a tradition still going strong. If you’re planning to sign up, you still have two weeks – just be sure you have your up-to-20-words “ad” ready to include once you start filling out the registration form! Official sale hours are 9 am-3 pm on May 12th but you are welcome to run longer – with an early start and/or late end – just be sure to mention that in your ad, too.

We’re still in the first of three weeks of registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2018, and 70 sales are already signed up – including the group site at Hotwire Online Coffeehouse(4410 California SW in The Junction), half a dozen businesses, and lots of awesome sales of all sizes, all kinds of items … clothes, toys, houseware, antiques, furniture, books, music, sports gear, and that’s just barely scratching the surface.

Official sale hours on Saturday, May 12th, are 9 am-3 pm, but sellers are welcome to start earlier and/or end later, and some already have announced they’re doing that – shoppers come from miles away (we’ve heard of people coming from Eastern Washington just for WSCGSD). Having a sale but not signed up yet? You have 2+ weeks BUT why procrastinate? Get on the list now!

After the first day of registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2018 – coming up on Saturday, May 12th – we are already past 30 sales signed up, and they’re all over the peninsula, from South Delridge to North Admiral, Alki Point to Pigeon Point, and beyond! We have individual, group, and business sales on the list already, too. Official sale hours are 9 am-3 pm on May 12th but sellers are welcome to start early and/or end late – be sure to include that info in your ad text if/when you are signing up. Speaking of which – here’s where to register! And if you’re planning to shop, watch for the map/list, printable and clickable versions, to be available one week before sale day, here and at our parent site West Seattle Blog.

The big day BEFORE the big day is here … we have just opened signups for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2018. This is the 14th annual WSCGSD and sales of all sizes are welcome – individual residence, business/organization/school, or block sale. We keep registration open for about three weeks so there’s plenty of time to decide if you’re participating and to register, but please don’t procrastinate, because once it’s closed, it’s closed – creating the maps and sale list takes some time! Ready to sign up? Got your up-to-20-word “ad” ready? Then go here.

West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day is only a month and a half away and so it’s almost time to start signups.

The big day itself, of course, is the second Saturday in May, as always – this year that’s Saturday, May 12, 2018. And the map will be available one week in advance, printable and clickable versions. Get ready for a fun day when West Seattle becomes the epicenter of person-to-person recycling!

So far, more than 220 sales are on their way to the map, and if you’re joining, we’re looking forward to hearing about yours too. Just go here! If you’re looking forward to shopping … 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 13th, is the official timeframe for WSCGSD, but some sales will start sooner, some will run later, some even might start Friday and/or run through Sunday – that’ll be in the listings accompanying The Map, which will be out May 6th, giving you a full week to plan.

If you’re planning a sale during the 13th annual West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – coming up Saturday, May 13th – you still have a little over a week to register. So far, we have 140 sellers all over the peninsula – individual sales, group sales, business sales, benefit sales, even a P-Patch plant sale – and are expecting a spectacular sale day! The map and listings will be available one week in advance; to be part of WSCGSD, you can go here to sign up.

As promised, we have opened registration for this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – coming up on Saturday, May 13, 2017, 9 am-3 pm (you can start your sale early and/or late but that six-hour window is the “official” window for all). This is the 13th annual WSCGSD!

If you’re planning a sale, here’s where to go to register – any time you’re ready (signups will continue for about three weeks; we usually don’t set the exact end date until we see how things are going). Same classifications and fees as the 10 years we’ve been coordinating this. Before you register, be ready with your up-to-20-word sale listing – think about what you’re selling that’s most popular and/or most unusual. Any questions, garagesale@westseattleblog.com or our 24/7 hotline at 206-293-6302. We’ll be updating here and on WSB (including any multi-seller sites that offer space for people who have small sales/no place to host a sale – if your venue is planning on that, please let us know ASAP)!

If you’re here looking for information on West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2017 – good news! As always, the big day is the second Saturday in May, and this year, that’s Saturday, May 13, 2017. We always open registration in early April, and for this year, we’ve set the date – April 5th. Probably in the afternoon or evening, so when we’re ready to get going, we’ll post the link here and on our main site, West Seattle Blog. In the meantime, start thinking about the 20 words you’ll use to highlight your sale. Unusual item(s)? Popular item(s)? Offering refreshments? Catchy name for the sale? Or … ?

ABOUT WSCGSD: This will be the 13th annual West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – tenth one coordinated by WSB, after its founders at a community-connection nonprofit called Megawatt presented it for the first three years, then deciding to disband and seeking someone else to take it over. It’s not one big sale, but rather many sales of all sizes, all over the peninsula, depending on who signs up and where they are – individual homes and apartments, block sales, schools, nonprofits, businesses, etc. The official hours are 9 am-3 pm, but you can start early and/or end late (and if you do, put it in your sale ad), as long as you are open those six hours that we promote for all sales. All the registered sellers’ information and locations goes into a map package that we make available one week before WSCGSD so you can start planning!

If you’re planning a sale but haven’t registered yet – tonight (Wednesday, April 27th) is the deadline, 11:59 pm … the form closes at midnight. Dozens of last-minute registrations have come in this evening and we’re past 300 sales for the second consecutive year. WSCGSD is on Saturday, May 14th, and it’s going to be awesome. Soon as the deadline passes, we start working on the map, and we’ll be continuing regional promotion to invite garage-sale fans from all over to come visit that day.

Just three weeks now until West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2016 on May 14th, and almost 200 sales are signed up! We’ve set the registration deadline for this Wednesday night, April 27th, 11:59 pm – by then, signups will have been open for more than three weeks, ample time for the word to get around. Then, we start working on the map, which as always will be available in clickable online and printable/downloadable PDF versions, one week BEFORE sale day. Having a sale? Not signed up yet? Do it now – just go here. And if you have problems/questions, please e-mail us at garagesale@westseattleblog.com – thanks!

Saturday, May 14th, is ever closer, and the 12th annual West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day is now up to 180 sales of all sizes, all over the peninsula. If you’re just waiting excitedly to shop, remember, the map will be available a week in advance. If you’re planning to have a sale but haven’t registered – time’s running out, so head on over to The Form and get on the list!

Just four weeks now until the 2016 edition of West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – our region’s BIGGEST event of its kind – with 145 sales on the list and headed for the map! Whatever you’re looking for, you’re bound to find it somewhere – and you’re bound to find at least one sale in your neighborhood. 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 14th, is the date; the map will be available online one week before that. Registration continues for at least another week and a half, but don’t procrastinate if you’re planning a sale – just get it done, by signing up here. If you have a question, by the way, ask here or e-mail us at garagesale@westseattleblog.com – thanks!

We’re now exactly one month away from West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2016 – and more than 100 sales are signed up! They’re all over the peninsula, from Puget Ridge to Highland Park, North Delridge to South Delridge, Gatewood to Westwood, Alki to Admiral to The Junction to Morgan Junction … group sales, solo sales, block sales … it all means we are in for another great WSCGSD on Saturday, May 14th. If YOU are planning a sale and ready to sign up – start here! If you’re planning on shopping, remember the map will be available a week in advance, so check here and/or our parent site West Seattle Blog after May 7th.

If you’ve been part of WSCGSD in past years – we haven’t changed anything except expanding the word limit for your listing on the map to 20 words – the field in the online version has lots of room, but the printable/downloadable PDF is the reason we need to set a limit. The fees are the same as they’ve been since we took over WSCGSD in 2008; they cover our production and promotion costs (and anything left over supports parent site West Seattle Blog‘s ongoing operations as West Seattle’s 24/7 news source).

*Sale day is Saturday, May 14, 2016.

*Official sale hours: 9 am-3 pm, but if you want to start yours earlier/end it later, that’s up to you – you can say that in your “ad” text (but no late starts/early ends, though, it’s important to cover the official time period – thanks!).

*Registration gets you on the map, which is published here and on West Seattle Blog – as well as promoted/advertised regionally and in our social-media channels – with clickable and printable (PDF) versions. The map is ready a week in advance and assigns each sale a number, which you can use for cross-reference and for your own promotion (“come see us, we’re sale #33!”), etc.

If you have a small amount of stuff to sell and/or no place for a sale, check in at Hotwire Online Coffeehouse ASAP for a free spot in the Hotwire courtyard or Ginomai across the alley. There’ll be one general map listing for Hotwire; if you sell there, you’re still welcome to buy your own (optional) mention on the list via the form above – just mention Hotwire/4410 California SW as the sale address.

P.S. We haven’t set the end date for registration yet – we usually wait to see how things are going – but we keep signups open for at least three weeks, so there’s plenty of time for you to decide whether to jump in.

As promised, we’ll be opening registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2016 today – not quite ready yet to launch the form but we expect to be, no later than early evening. The big day is Saturday, May 14th, and we’re looking forward to another fun one!

Once the map debuts on May 2nd, you’ll know the number of your sale, so you can invite friends, relatives, co-workers, etc., and tell them you’re #XX on the map, but don’t wait to tell them about WSCGSD – plenty of sales to go around for everyone, so start letting them know this will be THE day to visit WS (if they’re not here already).

Four weeks from today, the 11th annual West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day will make our peninsula the epicenter of person-to-person recycling … and if you’re interested in having a sale as part of it (120 sales of all sizes are on the list already, but it’s a big peninsula, so there’s room for more), you still have time to sign up.

We are now six days away from the official registration deadline – 11:59 pm next Wednesday (April 25th).
